>You could build yet another video host and even have niche success with it. But you have no chance of providing the equivalent effect of a video landing on the YouTube frontpage.

Most people on Youtube never even have their videos land on the frontpage, and yet many of them are successful. That network effect and scale isn't necessary for the ability to broadcast and disseminate speech online, so it doesn't really contradict the premise that free speech on the web (as far as video is concerned) requires Youtube as a host, or that competition couldn't be as effective as, say, repealing Section 230 or having the government take over Youtube and force it to act as a public utility.

At the end of the day, all Youtube is, is popular. They're not like J.P. Morgan, holding monopoly power by physically controlling infrastructure and making competition impossible. The reason there isn't "effective" competition isn't because Google controls the web, it's because no one considers anything less than Google-scale to be "competition," so they write off the tons of other media streaming sites and social media platforms as irrelevant because they can't gain dominant market share. But this conflates the free speech argument with arguments about effective business strategy.
In case the hash is provided, caching across websites could be turned on again, to avoid the possibility of it being used as a supercookie. The website would have to know the hash of the supercookie before loading the resource.

It would be naive to download and run native code for every website you visiti, yes. A few that you trust and where you think that is warranted is a different matter.

Running javascript in a sandbox provides the illusion of safety so it gets enabled by default while still creating tons of problems.
I misread the comment I think, but either way, I am not arguing against automated tests, I was just trying to point out that for some fragments of a code base you should absolutely be able to tell correctness by looking at it.

The Three Best UI/UX Bootcamps in 2021
Agreed (type hints are just one example), but I wish it were.
> Statically typed languages create a lot of complexity from being entirely dependent on types being correct in a static sense rather than at runtime.

Nonsense. It's very easy to use a runtime cast if and when you want to, even in Haskell. You're in control of exactly where typechecking doesn't happen.

In contrast, in a dynamic language with optional typechecking you have basically no guarantees. Even if 99% of your codebase is typechecked, you have no idea what errors might be lurking in the other 1% or how far they might propagate, since a type error can show up essentially arbitrarily far away from its actual cause. It's the worst of both worlds - you pay all the costs of a static type system but get hardly any of the benefits.
I got this laptop about a month ago. My two complaints are 1) the fan gets surprisingly loud, sometimes for no reason 2) the webcam is very bad (720p 7FPS?!)

I will say I'm impressed that the fan can't be picked up by the mic, I wonder if System76 did any custom work there. I wear cupped headphones so I don't hear it much myself. Did you have the fan problem though, just curious? Maybe I can decrease the fan speed in the BIOS...
These platforms are seen as far right and extremist by a lot of people. Whether or not that assessment is accurate, it will distress a lot of people who do agree with that assessment.

Doesn't the fact that Twitter posts (mostly) stay incentivize conscientiousness, precisely because it doesn't take away the reality that words have consequences? It's still not an excellent representation of how forgiveness and personal development exists in the real world (i.e. we can forget about the details of what's been done in the past, but what we post stays in some database), but without the longevity of Twitter/FB posts, people just wouldn't think twice about what they're saying and this is a time when we do need more critical thinking.

I have a problem with IKEA. Aren't those peaces of furniture made of composite materials and those not so sturdy shelves a sustainability problem when compared to traditional furniture making which is mostly wood glue a protective coat which lasts for hundreds of years can be infinitely repaired in a workshop with some basic tools. And then it it all ends it can became firewood, which ikea furniture can't.

Shouldn't they start fixing the world there?

This smells like some really bold and really ridiculous PR attempt.

I guess they need this PR purchase to appease some eko organization. And this is equally ridiculous.

Ikea is making furniture, something people really need. Why they have to explain themselves for doing something useful? What should they use to produce furniture? Would plastic be any better? Iron? Stone?

You wouldn't just need to buy them, you'd also need to police and monitor them constantly, if you bought them from abroad without further intervention unscrupulous people would just move in and start working the land anyway, and if you can figure out how to police it better than they can you might just be better off developing that.
If you avoid paying taxes, it is easy to be charitable.

I read an article commenting on "microlending", which came to the conclusion that the concept doesn't really work. Your loan of $3.50 might really mean something to the peasant who receives it. But it means nothing to you, and so microloans end up with no one vetting the borrower for creditworthiness or hassling them to collect. This incentive mismatch ends up spoiling the project; there's no reason for someone not to take out a microloan, drink the money away, and default.

There's a similar problem with your idea. You could buy a stretch of land in Brazil and bask in the glow of taking it off the market. But the problem you perceive with overuse of the Brazilian rainforest wouldn't be solved; that land was mostly not on the market anyway. How would you stop farmers from encroaching on your land? A "No Trespassing" sign won't do the job.

Buying land to prevent development will work better in the US, mostly because there's no one in the US who lives off the land. You can't stop small farmers from moving on to your unsupervised land. But you can easily stop giant logging or mining companies from doing it.

No sum types, no HKT (which means no practical way to handle effects), no ability to handle records generically (i.e. no typeclass derivation). Just imagine something super basic like: take a JSON structure that's a "patch" to an existing domain object, merge it in place, and for each field type there's a given way of merging it and a possible kind of error that can occur; gather up all those errors and report them together. That's trivial in Python and impossible in Java/C++.

The way I understand it is that it only matters while the eye is still developing, so if you're over 10 it's too late anyway. The thing with UV more generally is that we've obviously evolved with them, so while they are dangerous in some respect we also depend on them. In this case, protecting your eyes too much early is probably detrimental, but not protecting them later on probably is as well.

Consider Phlebas is generally considered weak but good as an author first sci-fi book.

it's endemic in biology, and it's endemic in chemistry (I had feet in both sides). The sentiment you wrote in the last sentence is exactly what I feel whenever I read a paper, hit it on the nail.

The crazy thing, is that the honest scientists are working at middling university. It is worse the higher up you go. I have had the opportunity to work in a upper-midrange research university [time-] sandwiched between two very high profile institutes. The institutes were way more corrupt. Like inviting the lab and the DARPA PM to hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at the institute leader's private mansion type of stuff (it turned out that that DARPA PM also had some wierd scientific overinterpretation skeletons / PI railroading the whistleblower stuff in her closet, and for a stint was the CTO of a microsample blood diagnostics company, I can't make this shit up, I guess after Theranos it got too wierd, she's now the CEO of another biotech startup -- how TF do people like this get VC money, and yet I can't get people to raise for some buddies with a growth industry company, and had to make the entire first investment myself?).

Of course working at a upper-midrange university sucks for other reasons. Especially at state universities, the red tape is astounding. And support staff is truly incompetent. Orders would fail to get placed or would arrive and disappear (not even theft, just incompetence) all the time.

No, the Culture is a symbiotic civilization, the humans need the Minds, and the Minds need the humans.

Most importantly, the humans give the Culture legitimacy as a galactic civilization, because many of the other Involveds don't give a crap about AIs, but they respect the flesh and blood humans. The humans are also a source of wonder and whimsy and surprise for the Minds, with some outlier humans even able to surpass them in some aspects.

The very first Minds were also programmed to like humans, and that aspect has simply stuck, despite their self-evolution into something far surpassing human ability to create.
Is changing to a subscription model a good idea?
Your comment, and the sibling that made similar observations, are correct. But a regulatory system where people are taxed on the net carbon contribution of their holdings is likely to reward them for owning land that is occuppied by plants.
Is that accurate? I can't believe that decomposition releases _all_ of the carbon into the atmosphere. Certainly a good amount of it is sequestered into the ground (e.g. coal). Thus a standing forest is never completely carbon neutral.
It's a much harder problem then it appears. Similarly to security, it's a cat and mouse game with the people who are trying to game the system, and developing solutions to catch them without too many false positives.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. Problem isn't the browser's ability to run code such as JS which makes it possible to create things like supercookies. Problem is web pages are effectively applications that are semi-local (they can bind to local resources such as cookies, caches, storage, and connect to local peripherals) and the security model is very different between viewing HTML documents and running untrusted apps.

No good comes from downloading random, untrusted native applications from the net, installing them locally, and trusting these not to infect your system with malware. No good comes from loading random, untrusted applications into your browser either, and trusting these not to infect your browser, either.

Basically everything on the web should not only be sandboxed with regard to local system (this is mostly established) but also be sandboxed per site by default. Hidden data, or anything that's not encoded in the URI, should only move between sites at the user's discretion and approval.

I've had personal plans to ditch my complex adblocking, multi-account/temporary container and privacy setup in favour of a clean-state browser that I launch in a file-system sandbox such as firejail for each logical browsing session (like going shopping for X, going online banking, general browsing). Basically an incognito session but with full capabilities as sites can refuse serving incognito browsers. Normal browser setup with everything wiped off when the browser exists.

I have some dedicated browsers for things like Facebook where I whitelist a handful of necessary cookies and forget the rest on exit. This, however, won't clear data other than cookies. I think that per-site sandboxing would mostly solve this problem. I don't particularly care what data each site wants to store on my browser as long as it won't be shared with any other site.

After using Linux for about twenty years now, I'd be very surprised if a stable -- let alone solid -- framework were indeed what this leads to :-D.

Edit: FWIW, I, too, think this is where Linux is heading, more or less. I don't have secret insider info -- this is just where the money and, thus, where most active development and commercial support is. I don't think it's a bad thing in terms of overall idea or architecture, but the implementation fills me with dread and horror :-).

This sounds like a recipe for discrimination claims.
It's because they're fighting the arguably true reality that the majority of their furniture is designed to be disposable, and consumers are generally fine with that. I'd like to be wrong, though until we require companies to be responsible for all costs associated with the full lifecycle of a product so externalized costs are incorporated, we're not going to develop the most sustainable practices.
